It’s one fvckin click. Deal with it.

it really is just ONE click. If your internet connection or browser isn’t current enough to support an extra click or two then maybe you should stay off the internet til you can do better, K?

denzel & pauletta is why i will never marry a boy that’s better looking than me.

natasha, you posted on kelly in that damn cat suit yet?? you know your days are over when you’re on stage perfmorning as cat woman to bring the $$$ in. sad.

Lola i dislike the new set-up too but hey…

did kelis really get dropped by Jive? neways, thumbs up for damon embracing his grey beard…must of took alot of courage.

damn damn damn———->serena fabulous indeed .i had to look at this pic 2x cos i cant believe.oh my arent u the hotness that was there.nice keyshia -i laways mix her with KELIS

Ashanti is killing it! She looks really pretty. I won’t touch the Washingtons…how long have they been married? My dad has that same look on his face.lol

What is wrong with Roberta Flack? Nobody gonna say nothing?

Patti Labelle always looks a hot mess! Natalie looks fly! She looks really good!

Lola I agree.

I don’t like this new ish either.

Ashanti and Serena both look really pretty.

What’s eating Denzel these days. He looks like he could care less about this movie.

Keyshia looks very well photo shopped.

Angela,

You’re a bitch.

I’ll be honest. I also don’t like this new site format at all. It has kept me from visiting the site as often. Yes, it’s just one click. But it’s no longer the easy blog format and takes more time to load. Smile people and don’t bash me b/c I express my opinion.

Also, can you check on the Ashanti dress? I think someone else wore that. Who ran it?

Everyone looks nice. However, God knows I am trying to admire Serena for stepping her game up, but she will always look like a man to me. Also, could she lay of that Crisco on her body. Black skin is supposed to be smooth and glossy. Not greasy and buttery, Serena looks like she just stepped out of somebody’s frying pan!!

I think I saw Jennifer Lopez in that dress! She ran it!

I miss the old format too but Natasha has upgraded herself! And this new format will not stop me from visiting!! Go YBF!

Ashanti and Serena, oh so fabulous!!!

Ashanti does look cute!!

Glad to see Serena looking less masculine….must have laid off the steroids.

I’m upsset with Denzel’s outfit….at least he could have worn black tennis shoes. And why is Pauletta carrying around that huge green bag…clutches are supposed to be small.

I second Lola
This new formatting is wack

Love the new site…natasha please don’t switch back just because these fool can’t take an upgrade. I love not having to scroll down through the whole damn web page and wait for everything to load. Now it’s just a click of a button.I would not be mad if Chudney got plastic surgery done to her face, it can’t get any worse than it already is.Damn that was mean of me to say…but hey it’s the truth…maybe they can push her eyes further into her sockets. She must get a lot of shit up in her eyes.

serena williams looks AMAZING!

Serena Williams needs to step up her feet game cause they look a hot ass mess! On a good note Ashanti is really looking fab these days!

First things first, Ashanti looks absolutely STUNNING!
Natalie, Patti, Roberta, Chutney and everybody looks fabulous!

Second..WTF is up with Keyshia cole being AIRBRUSHED to a nothing! Lookin like EVA PIGFORD! VIBE..Please do better.

Third, Michelle Williams is looking alot better.. although she still skinny as a chicken.. haha! Let me stop.

Wow Serena looks FAB!!!! Her dress, make-up, and hair compliment her so well and she looks so sophisticated. I am glad she left the blond hair and too tight and short dresses ALONE it was so not her. Actually if you pay attention I think she is getting fashion advice from Kelly Rowland (Her BFF) Kelly dresses with that type of sophistication as well. That Keshia Cole cover of VIBE is GORGEOUS….I love her hair cut and color it looks so good on her, much better than that wierd orange she used to wear. I LOVE it…she reminds me so much of a young and raw Mary J. Blige!!!

Damon Wayans and his graying beard were there.

IMO, I think that is soooo sexy on a man!!

Ashantis lackuster personality takes away from her beauty (although she does look nice, looking at her makes me YAWWWWN). Serena has definitely stepped it up a notch or two, I am not mad at her! The BIG eyes work for Diana and Tracee Ellis, but on Chudney…NO! She should squint, permanently. Denzel and Paula, I love these two and although I am in no way, shape, or form feeling the get ups, I will keep all negative comments between me and the friends in my head. Stay Fab everyone! I love the new format Natasha!

Serena looks fab and actually look feminine.

Ashanti looks amazing and Natalie Cole is showing Patti and Roberta Flack how to do it at their age. Please, Roberta invest in a mirror.

Denzel never smile for the paps because he’s established in Hollywood.

Diane Ross’s kids are butt ugly.

The Ashanti is wearing,I think J-Lo ran it first, check on it!

Dress

Ashanti is stepping her game up…but she still looks a lil’ “off” to me?? dunno.

Denzel and Pauletta have been together FOREVER! Don’t be surprised…this is what marriage can do to you after 20-30 years…look at ya parents!

Michelle looks fab…I have that Marc Jacob’s dress too! But ya know, my curves be killin’em….Michelle, where your curves go??? You did have a lil’ sumpin’ to work with in your DC dayz!

And somebody please tell Niecey Nash that her whole look needs to “Clean House”!!!! Dammit…FABOO indeed.

Didn’t Beyonce also wear the dress Ashanti has on?!!?!?

ooh wee my boo Ashanit looks great in the dress that jlo wore earlier this year or the end of last year. looks fantastic on both of them! kelly ripa and roberta flack at the same event, wish i could have been there patti’s hair looks nice, healthy and almost real-that’s a change. neither michelle or joy (who’s okay looking not to try harder) look good…

*tears streaming down my face, blowing snot bubbles*

Serena! Girl, you did it!

oops, and yes, keisha looks great on Vibe-one of their better covers period actually.

Keyshia is banging!!!!!!!

Serena and Shanti look lovely and so does natalie Cole….

MICHELLE!!!! It’s so good to see her

You guys are so funny.
I agree that Serena will always look like a man.
Ashanti’s dress is nice, but I am not digging her face.
I am mad as hell at Denzel, he looks too stress at this premiere, and his wife looks like his momma, lol..

Serena!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so proud. Black is definitely her color. It smooths out the mannish contours on her body. Her make-up??? Girl finally figured out that everybody else has a make up artist and she aint all that good with make up. Loveeeeeee her.

Ashanti looks good, but i can still smell the BITCH from way over here… Keyshia is real nice, i met her at red lobster couple weeks ago, she just came in to officially quit her job. she’s so polite n all

Ashanti looks gorgeous. I don’t like the Keyshia cover. They could have least Photoshoppped her teeth or something…I always thought she had enough talent not to resort to that sort of thing.

Ashanti looks gorgeous.
Serena, an improvement.
Joy, is always fab to me. She can pull off ‘quirky’.
Niecy, ummm, denim comes best in ‘jean’ form, not in ‘dresses, vests, gloves, bags, shirts’. I think denim works best when it’s the way it was intended to: jeans and by default shorts. Michelle looks skeletal and that dress is bagging on her; but it’s good to see her again.
Keyshia Cole: is very pretty in that God-awful, awkward as hell, image/pose. VIBE magazine is sooo falling off. She looks uncomfortable! I don’t like it, but she does have great skin!

LOL @ Olsen twin from a different daddy… I don’t really like that look on her either. And I would have never expected Denzel to wear all black and white tennis shoes.

first things first for those who don’t like the site go to a site that you like- i’m just saying. change is hard but deal w/ it. justs cause you say oh my no likey doesn’t mean natasha is going to change it for you. we all had to get used to this new format & I can dig it…ya dig!

ANYWAYZ…ashanti really came up! like boo guess you need to stick to those movie roles & not the studio. cause when is her album dropping again? lol

chudney…boo please what is your occupation again?- living off of…? idk i’m just sayn.

Denzi- please show the teeth, chicklets please come out & grace us I must agree there is just something about his wife that doesn’t seem right. At least he brings her out the house. But the one thing with them they have stood the test of time..don’t they have like 10+ of marraige? I just wanna see the pic of his son in that global email about him paying for the hospital, I’m sure ya’ll have all seen it.

Michelle looks like she’s been on that Thandie diet. I hope she stopped & got a $1 cheeseburger @ mickey D’s after.

Can Star please do some arm curls to get rid of that tiny piece of big star? not being rude cus she does look nice, BUT tighten up boo.

K.Cole is doing the dam thing. I’ll be watching tonight! BET @ 10:30 the way it is, fyi in case ya’ll 4got.

Oh my! Is that Serena Williams looking (gasp!) dare I say fabulous?! She has definitely stepped up her style game.
I’ve been taught to respect my elders, but damn it who the hell told Roberta Flack to come out the house looking like Sideshow Bob?!
Kim Kardashian should really be taking notes from Keyshia Cole on how to do a nude pictorial and still look classy.

Denzel has been doing movies for years. The look on his face says “This -ish is nothing new to me”. I admire him so much for being as big a star as he is and not leaving his black queen.

Chudney looks like a damned scare crow. Ashanti is fly as usual, D and Pauletta been together since Hector as a pup, if you didn’t think she’s was pretty now you should have seen her back in the day. It’s a huge improvement now. I knew D and Sam before they blew up. Keyisha looks a hella lot more tasteful than Kim K, I’ll tell you that much! This month’s Vibe looks interesting, I think I will peep it.

I am so not an Ashanti fan, but (GASP!) she looks fabulous! The prize goes to Serena, though. Hair, dress, makeup… she was so on point!

Note to Chutney…pony tails are not a good look on the red carpet…in a formal gown…with all that black eyeliner. You look like a raccoon. Do better.

Whoa, just seem the “You will be Banned” msg. Ok! On Keisha, her hair is layin’, loves it. Go B*tch! I just wish she had a loosened up on the tet tas a little bit, they look a little smashed, but all in all, beautiful pic. Serena looks like she glossed down them feet before she stepped out, lol. At least she knows they get crusty, I saw a few pics where she was straight slippin!

Not the biggesest Keisha Cole fan but her VIBE cover is beautiful. Airbrush works miracles for a second I forgot she had all those ghetto fab tattoos. This is a good look for her.

And also D and Pauletta relationship is a testament to the fact that looks ain’t errythang. She stuck by him when he was making $250 a week. So, there you go and they have a relationship where there is communication and respect. This isn’t about superficiality and shallowness. It’s about respect and I’m down for you.

Ashanti’s dress is the hotness….I think JLO did where that same dress.
Leave Serena alone…Nowadays she’s looking more and more fab…

P.S
Does Denzel age like once every decade. And I’m sorry, I give props to all my black women of all age, when deserved. But who has a husband as fine as Denzel and wear that shiny synthetic lookin braided in, whateva the hell that is hair style. I don’t care how old you are Paulette, honey, step it up, theres a hot young Fluzie somewhere (and it very well may be me(sorry)) right this minute going, “Umm, hmm, let me catch that ass slippin and I’m on you like a cheap suit on Easter Denzel”! Gorgeous, remember that thing he use to do with his lip in Mo’ Better Blues. Ohhhhhh, okay, let me stop, too excited. I know he be creepin just a little bit tho. Just a little. I wouldn’t take him away, just want a ride or two(or hundred) ok, yeah, I said it, I ain’t no homewrecker, but I’m just sayin! Oh, shut up, at least 100 of yall was thinking the same thing.(smile)

Keyshia and Kelis…me too.

wow, ashanti really looks elegant. i dont’ think i’ve seen her doing elegant before. nice switch up

The problem with Denzel and Pauletta is that Denzel just keeps looking better and better. Right now there is a great grandmother, grandmother, mother and a daughter in the same family, that think Denzel is gorgeous. I’m 23 years old and I think that he is the sexiest black actor out there. However, Pauletta just gets older looking and not in a good way. She just gives of a mother vibe instead of a wife vibe. I hope they can stay together though because I do believe in the sanctity of marriage. Peace.

-Ashanti killed it.She looks fab. Finally.
Sidebar, when is Nelly gonna stop playing and give that gyal a ring?

-Roberta Flack is, like, in her early millions. The woman still looks stunning. Natasha, you couldn’t shout your soror out a little better, lol?

-Chudney’s not so bad.I mean, I wouldn’t wear it, and she clearly has enough money to hire someone to TELL her that she ought not wear it either, but…oh wait; I guess I kinda see your point.

-Johnny Boy looks elderly and sweaty. Snaps for the kids, nonetheless.

-No one is going to address the madness that is Star Jones? Ok then, fine.

-Serena Williams is ,by far, one of the most attractive young men we have ever seen. Give him credit for that.

-Keisha Cole’s face looks ashy. Kinda like she borrowed foundation from her very light-skinned friend or like, Gwyneth Paltrow.

-I too, really dislike the new format. Natasha, you provide an incredible service. It’s more than just entertainment, it gives agency and voice to an entire community that Hollywood and, as a result, bloggers and media tend to marginalize. For that, we can’t give you anything but applause. That said, your readers have systematically given you constructive criticism about this new layout. Yes, it is only one click, but not if you have like seven different entries, in which case, you have to keep going back. It’s not a good look. Please consider what we are saying to you about the new format…perhaps it’s something to think about.

This clicking on the link thing, I agree is a bit more annoying. Hope it’s a quick fix.

Serena is beginning to look more feminine. I guess she’s lying off the steroids. She’s never claimed to have taken them, but a women’s body doesn’t get as big as hers was from exercise.

One has to wonder if she’s suffered any of the side affect of steroids: reduced breast size, enlarged clitoris, growth of facial and chest hair, menstrual irregularities, high signs of aggression, male pattern baldness, and deepening of voice.

Y’all know steroids cause the female body to look manly and Serena was looking very much like a man. I hope she wasn’t using them because most of the affects are irreversible.

Oh, damn, does Chudney really have to look like Beetlejuice every time I see her? Lawd help. Somebody needs to tell her to try leaving off the dark black eyeliner. She does NOT need to draw attention to those eyes. It’s the eyes…Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!!

-Ashanti has always been a cute chick….damn haters
-Serena looks cute but as soon as you get to those feet she looks like she was born in the Bed-Rock Era. Yabba Dabba Doo!
-Patty still looks good!
-Joy’s outfit is a HAM!
-Michelle looks good. I’m proud of her!
-I LOVE Denzel too much to say what I want to say about Pauletta…so I’ma leave it at that.

please stop that foolishess,
and leave denzel and pauletta alone!

Are we all looking at the same picture of Ashanti, because even though that is a beautiful dress, its consuming her!! Didn’t J.Lo wear this outfit?? If you put the pictures side by side, I think you can see what I’m talking about. Serena is look F-A-B!

Angela,

You’re a bitch.[/quot

Aww so what.

Anastasia, shut up. Please, just shut up with all that. If you took all that time to type that rhetoric, then a few clicks won’t hurt you.

sorry but American Gangster is CORNY. I saw the 5 dollar street copy and was bored.

I love to see Black Love but Denzel needs to trade in his wife for a sexier model. She’s a beast. Hot her off with some dough and get a sexy younger woman.

how much time does the clicking REALLY take out of your day, for f**k sake, you people can’t really be that effin lazy, CAN YOU!?

I agree with the previous posters about the clicking. Its annoying and not an upgrade to me because ConcreteLoop did it first.
Now lets see how many people attack me now for just sharing my opinion.

PLEASE PLEASE LOOK CLOSELY AT MICHELLE!!! Does it look like someone posted her head on to another persons body, or does she just really have a HUGE head???

This new format it Tre Wack!!!!
I now visit Bossip and A Hot Mess first. They have the dish before this site anyway. I used to love YBF …:(

On the site commentary…..I just wanted to let you know Natasha, I love your new website. The layout of very professional and aesthetically pleasing for savvy internet browsers/users.

For those of you complaining, Natasha is just bringing the site up to standards that are competitive and on the level of the other major internet blogger websites. Please go and visit a few of the other MAJOR sites and they all have this type of “Read the Rest” linkage. It makes it easier for frequent viewers to see if a new blog has been posted because scrolling is quicker.

Please save your comments for me, as I have a degree in Information Systems and am a technical writer with many years of experience in creating User Interfaces — this is one of the best I have seen in a while.

serena looks fab. love the new site, so much easier to see and use! thanks for helping me pass the time at work! Ashanti is looking better because she got a lil dick in her life. Denzel and his wife. No love there all for the cameras.

maybe because you were looking at the 5.00 street version. Didn’t Tyler Perry tell black folks about bootlegging everything…sigh….

somebody give michelle a biscuit!

I agree that I preferred the old version to this one. It’s not a matter of being lazy, it’s just a matter of me being accustomed to the previous version. Not sure why, but I don’t come back as often. I usually wait a few days and catch up on all my YBF reading. However, before I would come on about three to four times during the work day. Yet the moral of the story is: I still come back.

On the flip side, I think with the amount of traffic and posting activity that has increased with the popularity of the site, I am sure this makes the blog alot easier for the owner to manage. So I am sure in time, we will all get used to the new look and feel. But, realize that at some point down the line we may have to adjust to more changes as the more popular the site becomes, the harder it is to manage.

not really liking the new site

The dress is cute, but I believe Jlo had it on a while back. You should do a who ran it.

Ummm..I don’t like this new format eithr but that doesn’t make me a fool. I just don’t like it.

hahahahaha…i never thought folks would get so worked up over one click

I think everyone looks nice,except I’m not feeling Denzels look. His wife looks fab though. Some say she’s unattractive, but by who’s standards?

~~LOL. I was thinking the same thing. I love Michelle and all but I have never noticed how big her head is–especially in that last pic of her.
~~Love Love LOVE the site Natasha–the look and the gossip…the one extra click is fine. The UPGRADE is wonderful. Don’t change it back to the old format. Kepp doing you…

spell check–> Keep

Natasha the upgrade is FAB!!! Please do not change to please individuals who are too lazy to upgrade themselves…. Someone will always find fault in something good….. Let them stay salty! Do you boo!

Actually Serena looks fab. She can’t help it that she’s got buff arms. She’s a damn athelete!! Black folx are too critical of other Black folx. We ain’t never ‘gon get NOWHERE with all of this hateration.

Serena is fab. She can’t hep it that she has buff arms. She’s a damn athelete! Such hateration…..us Black folx ain’t neva gon get nowhere with that.

But Keyshia Cole? Yuck.

The Picture of Keyshia is flawless. I love iT! Go! Ke Ke

LOL…Serena’s feet did look greasy, but she looks SO FAB tho!
Joy Bryant needs to get it together
LOVE Ashanti’s dress!
Patti, love ya, but someone’s granny wants their BEDSHEETS back!
John Legend is adorable! (I’ll take 2 scoops of him! LOL!)
Star looks SICK!
Roberta Flack looks a H.A.M
I was surprised to see Danzel wearing those white tennis shoes–I always thought he was above that sort of thing. C’mon D!
Damon Wayans was looking scruffy
Keyshia Cole was lookin like Kelis in that pic

sumbody needs 2 feed michelle PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry lol!!! no 4real!!~~

Serena Williams looks amazing.

What is wrong with Denzel’s wife. She pretty to me. I don’t get, when a Black superstar has an actual black (dark skin) wife, black people always say she’s ugly. But black woman just love JLo’s big butt to death. Don’t get it.
